Stoneware Bakers have the distinct advantage of producing totally even heat distribution and moisture absorption. Crusts are crustier and the crumb is lighter creating a perfect product every time.

This stone bakeware is made of natural clay body fired at temperatures over 2000 °F. It is oven and microwave safe and may also be used in convection ovens. For centuries people have been using stone bakeware for its very unique properties and fine baking tradition.

Care and Use Do’s:
- Do wash the stone in hot water and scrub it clean.
- Do handle your stone carefully, even though it is very durable.
- Do use pot holders or barbecue mitts when handling the hot stone.
- sprinkle the preheated stone with corn meal to prevent sticking.
- remember the stone is only for use in the oven or microwave.

Don’t:
- Don’t wash the stone in detergents. Just use a scraper and hot water.
- Don’t drop the stone. It might chip or break.
- Don’t touch hot stone with bare hands. It will result in a severe burn.
- Don’t put stone on a gas stove or an electric stove. It will break the stone.
- Don’t put hot stone in cold water.

The stone will become stained after repeated use. This will not affect its baking capabilities in any way. You’ll find so many uses for this stoneware baker, you’ll probably want to leave it right in your oven!
